Could someone explain for me what I am suposed to fill in BEA_HOME to be able to harvast from Eclipse to OER? I am trying to follow this blog "http://brajeshde.blogspot.com.br/2012/01/my-first-experience-of-osb11gr1ps2.html" and I have no idea what is the purpose of BEA_HOME? Should I point to weblogic home?

While reading OER Guide, I read that I should point to my OSB HOme which in my case is C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_OSB1. Other blog tells me that I should point to WebLogic home which in my case is C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3. And even other blog tell to point to the home where is all my Oracle tolls which in my case should be C:\Oracle\Middleware. What is the purpose to set this system variable? I can run weblogic, OSB and OER without that. The only reason I setted BEA_HOME was to use harvester and untill now, apparently there are no diference what the path I set the variable with.

Hi,
in your Case following are the properties
===================================================
BEA_HOME: C:\Oracle\Middleware

OSB_HOME:=C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_OSB1

SOA_HOME:=C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1

ORACLE_HOME: you can any of the "OSB/SOA" home based on the need.
===================================================

Why do we need this?
Especially when you are working on following
1. WLST scripts
2. Setting and running some of the b2b related en-queue or de-queuing message from the backend
and many cases as of now i can think only above 2.

NOTE: if you really not interested on backend scirpt execution/harvesting/purging etc you don't need worry about these parameters
